    Examples of properties that get created:
    - snmp.community
    - esx.user/pass

     

     

    Oh yes, we have a process to check/remove them every week. It's caused by LogicMonitor add device wizard when you enter in properties there. We pretty much avoid the wizard now. LM tries to be "helpful" by adding those properties to root. This is something we have brought up to LM over the years (tickets 76322, 88632, 108961, FEED-2277) but LM never changed it. As an MSP it becomes a problem since we have lots of customers in one portal, so never want anything on root and sometimes it get inheritied. LM suggested we just add fake values.

    LM seems to be putting more focus on MSPs these days, but either way I suggest reaching out to your rep about this issue.
